To dress emo for school, focus on form-fitting bottoms in dark colors, paired with band tees and appropriate footwear, incorporating specific details like chains or buckles.
Core Emo Clothing Style
Dressing emo typically involves incorporating key clothing items and colors that reflect the subculture's aesthetic. For school, it's about adapting these elements within dress code boundaries.
One fundamental aspect is the choice of bottoms. Emo kids usually wear form-fitting bottoms in dark colors or patterns.
- Bottoms:
- Skinny jeans or tight-fitting skirts are popular options.
- These are often in dark colors like black, grey, or dark patterns.
- Decoration can include chains or buckles.
- In Midwestern emo fashion, boot-cut jeans are also popular.
- Tops: Often feature band logos (like a Saves The Day T-shirt) or have dark, graphic designs.
- Footwear: Popular choices include Converse shoes or similar sneakers, as well as boots.
Putting Together an Outfit
Here's how you can combine elements based on the style:
- Start with the bottoms: Choose dark skinny jeans or a tight skirt.
- Add details: If allowed, add chains or buckles to the bottoms.
- Pick a top: Select a band tee or a dark graphic shirt.
- Choose shoes: Lace up some Converse or your preferred dark sneakers/boots.
Example Outfit: Pair black jeans with a Saves The Day T-shirt and Converse shoes.
